Wet & Dry Vac ?

[Kane.]

Can someone recommend me one, obviously for car seats, carpets etc. So has to be small enough, just had a look on ebay and I assume the 12v ones are shite ?

Budget is around £100

 

[Daniel]

Do you mean you want a vac that can suck up dust and water? Or do you mean you want a carpet/upholstery cleaner?

 

[Kane.]

The actual vac to clean upholstery

I bought one of these about 6 months ago and it is absolutely brilliant. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NUMATIC-CAR-B...417?pt=UK_Vacuum_Cleaners&hash=item4150a05a61

Spray seats with upholstery cleaner, agitate with cloth, wash seats with clean water using machine.

Its a bit over your budget but you get what you pay for imo.

 

[Kane.]

I don't mind paying that if its decent tbh, cheers

Could you not rent one out in spain? surely you will use it once in a blue moon.

Although we have one of them at work they are very good.

 

[Kane.]

I want to get into detailing/valeting in the future so I'd rather buy one tbh.

[Russ.]

Yeah i saw from detailing threads that said i would need this to do the seats:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAX-UPHOLSTER..._Bags_Parts&hash=item53e6ef53bb#ht_2248wt_905

to do the car seats with, its a fantastic tool, so shelled out for one of those as well as the refurbished boxed unit but it already came with one, where it saids "Transparent Fibreflow™ wash head" i am 99% sure thats what the tool is as mine was included in the box,

That tool and the wider carpet one is all you need really, i had some carpet shampoo i used with the water mixture, in the vax box you normally get a little shampoo bottle anyway i was really impressed with the refurbished unit...

Any way a nail brush to scrub the seats gently, some spray upholstry cleaner, and your good to go.
